PON2 and PPARG polymorphisms as biomarkers of risk for coronary heart disease.

AIM: Investigate the correlation between paraoxonase 2 (PON2) Ser311Cys polymorphism as well as the peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARG) His477His polymorphism and the susceptibility to development of coronary heart diseases (CHD) through a meta-analysis.

METHODS: Odds ratio and the corresponding 95% CI were used to assess the results. We included 7476 CHD patients and 8504 healthy controls. All the statistical analyses were performed by Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software (CMA, version 2.0).

RESULTS: The Ser311Cys polymorphism decreased susceptibility in the overall population and Asian population to CHD. The His477His polymorphism has a protective role in the overall population; however, the subgroup analysis by ethnicity suggested that in Asian population, His477His might increase the risk of CHD.

CONCLUSION: These polymorphisms constitute important predictive indicators of CHD susceptibility.
